Feature: Althea Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist and Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser

     Althea ended the year 2018 with a bang! From makeup to skincare, they launched two new products that will surely entice your senses- Althea Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist and Althea Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser. The first is a collaboration between Titi Kamal and Althea. 

Titi Kamal is an Indonesian actress and singer with a knack for fashion and style. Best identified by her luxuriously long black hair, she's a beauty icon that's captured the hearts of fans all across Southeast Asia.

     K-beauty fans will surely rejoice with this collaboration because if I'm not mistaken, only a handful of Korean brands offer cologne and perfume in the market. I have a collection of Western perfume and cologne brands and none from Asian brands. Althea is a K-Beauty online shopping destination and known to have produced their own line of cost-effective skin care products that why when I saw the pore purifying serum, I said to myself that it will be another keeper. More information about these new products below.

Product Review: Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask

     One of the infamous ingredients when it comes to having soft and smooth skin is milk. I presume that once in your life someone had told you that drinking, applying, or even bathing with milk will give you baby smooth skin. I've also read that milk is one of Cleopatra's secret to having beautiful skin.

     Gone are the days that you have to buy cartons or boxes of milk just to create a skin care mixture containing casein protein. Althea Korea recently introduced the cream milk peel mask that aims to help moisturize skin in just 60 seconds. Enter Althea Milk Peel Cream Mask- a gentle peeling mask containing milk for a refreshed complexion. A self-bubbling clay-like texture that is suitable for combination skin types, enlarge pores, rough, sensitive skin that needs gentle exfoliation and dry skin that needs moisture even after peeling. My thoughts after using this for more than three weeks below.

Product Review: Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway SPF50+ PA++++

     Ever since I became more serious in taking care of my skin, I see to it that I apply an ample amount of sunscreen on my face after the wash, tone and moisturize routine. I use sunscreen every day even when I'm indoors because hello, UVA! The fluorescent light at home and blue light coming from a laptop, mobile phone, and other gadgets emit a low level of radiation hence using sun protection products all the time is a must.

     I've tried a few brands of sunscreen before and only two of them became a mainstay in my skincare stash. Looks like a new baby from Althea Korea will join the army. Enter Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway SPF50+ PA++++, the newest sunscreen product from Althea that gives a soft, velvety, and petal-like skin. More information about the product below.

Feature: Esfolio Super Rich Coconut Line

      I presume that you've read my thoughts on Esfolio Super Rich Coconut Toner last week. My apologies for not introducing first the entire line before making a review. Anyhoo, this set from Esfolio is promising especially if you have mature, dry, and dull skin. The superstar ingredient in each product is the coconut oil and many swears by its health benefits.

      Coconut oil has a lot of benefits and if you'll make a research, it is used in different natural beauty products for its antibacterial and antifungal property. It's an excellent moisturizer and smells so nice too. Never thought that a skincare product with coconut oil would smell divine. So without further ado, know more about Esfolio's Super Rich Coconut Line below.

Feature: Goodal Green Tangerine Line

     Have you heard about the latest skincare craze in Korea? If you're a fan of K beauty, I presume that you know what I'm talking about- glass skin. Koreans are going cray cray to have a glass skin and in order to achieve that, investment in the right products is a must even if it's expensive plus the fact that they have a nice weather, right?

     I'm not against glass skin. Who doesn't want a youthful and glowing skin, so smooth and radiant like a glass? Of course, I want that but I'm having second thoughts if this is achievable by using their suggested products because one thing is for sure- it's not compatible with our hot and humid weather. But hey, ladies of the tropics are still lucky because there are skin care products that can make skin radiant and fresh. Enter Goodal Green Tangerine- a skin care line perfect for summer!

Product Review: Althea Unporegettable Box

     If there's one subscription box that I want to receive over and over again, that box would be the Althea Beauty Box! I presume you already know that Althea Korea and Althea Philippines because most of your favorite beauty and lifestyle bloggers are highly recommending both. Althea Korea is the no. 1 digital destination for all things K-beauty. 

     Althea is the leading Korean beauty site with over 150 Korean beauty brands on board so if you're a fan of their skincare, makeup, and more- then you should subscribe to one of their beauty boxes. Althea Box is offered with a different theme every month. Once subscribed, you'll receive the chosen box and you'll be surprised to see all the products inside. Last November, I received the Althea Un-Pore-Gettable Box which offers full-size products for that nasty pore problem. Scroll down to see the products inside the box and my thoughts after the jump!

Product Review: Goodal Keratina Anti-Aging Double Serum Light

     Taking care of aging skin is not a walk in the park. You have to address different skin care issues in the aging department. Think of wrinkles, premature wrinkles, uneven skin tone, rough and dry texture, sagging skin, sunspots, melasma, and others that need to be taken care of seriously.

     I started incorporating anti-aging products into my skin care routine in my early 30's. I've tried a handful of products from cleansers, moisturizers, serums, masks, and eye creams from the local and international brand and I can say that the more religious I apply these products, the more I see the effects. When it comes to hydrating the skin, I only use either moisturizing gel or serum. My current fave is Goodal Keratina Anti-Aging Double Serum Light which I'll be reviewing below :)

Feature: LUKE Total Skin Solution

     If your skin care regimen is something that you treasure, I'm sure that you're doing more than 3 basic steps daily.  Aside from cleansing, toning, and moisturizing, I'm sure that you use serum, eye cream, scrub, and mask to achieve healthy skin. If you're that religious in applying skin care products, an eye mask and nose strip definitely complete the regimen.

     There are individuals who like to add this extra steps in their routine but their budget is limited only to the basics. Good news, dearies! You can now level up your skin care routine without the hefty price tag because LUKE Total Skin Solution offers facial masks, hydrogel eye patch, and nose strips at a very affordable price! I was shookt when I saw the variants and price points during the launch. Know more about LUKE Skin PH below :)

Feature: Pure Beauty Urban Shield

     Did you know that your skin is exposed to different kinds of pollutants everyday? These are dust, dirt, and UV rays that will have negative effects on your skin in the long run if not addressed properly. While there are so many whitening and anti-aging products in the market that is easily accessible, I haven't seen a product line that works to protect the skin from harmful effects of pollution that's why I was surprised when Watson's Philippines sent the full range of Pure Beauty Urban Shield line. 

     The newest product line that will nourish and protect your skin from inside out is here! It will be Filipina's best bet for that 8 step Korean skin care regimen. Pure Beauty Urban Shield line is the first of its kind in the country, inspired by nature and infused with antioxidants from pomegranate. More information about the line below.

Althea Korea Turns 2 Birthday Haul

     Althea Korea turned 2 last July and it rained blue beauty boxes all over Asia and to countries where Althea Korea ships their products. There were so many surprises in store last July for both K Beauty fans and beauty bloggers who were called Althea Birthday Squad.

     I'm one of the few bloggers who joined the squad in spreading the birthday cheer. I received Althea’s Limited Edition Birthday Cake Box with DIY cake box deco, a birthday card, and gift pack which consisted of my haul. I only picked three items this time because I still have a lot of K Beauty products to try at home. Sharing a short feature of my Althea Korea Turns 2 Birthday Haul after the jump!
